Lightweight geo-bead fill to prevent soft ground deposit failure

As a foundation for transportation infrastructure, soft ground has limited bearing capacity and high compression. To prevent embankment failure, lightweight material is suggested. In the construction of road embankments, EPS can be regarded...

Unveiling the immunomodulatory dance: endothelial cells’ function and their role in non-small cell lung cancer

Abstract The dynamic interactions between tumor endothelial cells (TECs) and the immune microenvironment play a critical role in the progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In general, endothelial cells exhibit diverse immunomodu...

Reducing Health Anxiety in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease Using Video Testimonials: Pilot Assessment of a Video Intervention

BackgroundHealth anxiety has many damaging effects on patients with chronic illness. Physicians are often unable to alleviate concerns related to living with a disease that has an impact on daily life, and unregulated websites can overrepre...

The Physics and Astrophysics of Neutron Stars

A search for $t\bar{t}$ resonances with the ATLAS detector in 2.05 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7~\mathrm{TeV}$

Abstract A search for top quark pair resonances in final states containing at least one electron or muon has been performed with the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The search uses a data sample corresponding to an integ...

Predicting hospital admissions from individual patient data (IPD): an applied example to explore key elements driving external validity

Objective To explore factors that potentially impact external validation performance while developing and validating a prognostic model for hospital admissions (HAs) in complex older general practice patients.Study design and setting Using ...

Association of self-reported dental caries with sex, lifestyle, and problematic Internet use among elementary school children in Japan

Abstract Background Dental caries is the most prevalent disease in elementary schoolchildren in Japan. Problematic Internet use (PIU) has increased among children; however, its association with caries has rarely been studied. We aimed to ex...

Robots in organizations

Robots are becoming increasingly integrated into the workplace, impacting organizational structures and processes, and affecting products and services created by these organizations. While robots promise significant benefits to organization...

Richard Baldwin: The Globotics Upheaval: Globalisation, Robotics, and the Future of Wor.k

At the root of inequality, unemployment, and populism are radical changes in the world economy. Digital technology is allowing talented foreigners to telecommute into our workplaces and compete for service and professional jobs. Instant mac...

Interaction with LLM-Based Systems: A Structured Review and Taxonomy of Mechanisms and Autonomy

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly integrated into interactive systems across domains such as software development, robotics, and education. As these systems evolve from simple chat interfaces to autonomous, tool-using agents, th...

Innovations in repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation: a review of clinical evidence and patient-reported outcomes for ExoTMS

IntroductionTranscranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique with demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of multiple psychiatric and neurological disorders. ExoTMS represents an evolution in TMS system des...

Cascaded Dual-Observer-Based Decoupled Estimation of Mass and Track Gradient for Permanent-Magnet-Driven Electric Monorail Cranes

Precise data regarding the overall mass of the machinery and the gradient of the track are crucial for optimizing the control of monorail cranes and enhancing energy efficiency. Within the context of electric monorail cranes (EMCs), accurat...

Human–Robot Interaction in Rescue Robotics

Rescue robotics has been suggested by a recent DARPA/NSF study as an application domain for the research in human-robot integration (HRI). This paper provides a short tutorial on how robots are currently used in urban search and rescue (USA...

Quantum transfer learning for cross-domain cybersecurity threat detection and categorization

Abstract Cybersecurity challenges have become increasingly complex and widespread, and the risks associated with these problems are substantial, affecting thousands of individuals and organisations and being crucial to national security. As...
